sure the photographer has a great and respectable job, but i have seen plenty of mediocre photos from people like that.
ive seen plenty of poor/whatever photos from getty, AP, sports illustrated. etc etc.

that's crazy, the 5 came out 2 weeks after the IIn! what I mean is, both are pretty much the same age.

But the 2n, is two models old, the 5D held it's value well into late last year. Before the 5D2 it was selling for $1600 or so. Hell people are dumping their 1D3's for $2200-$2500 now. It's just two years old.

someone just posted this in the night club photo thread at POTN... ok so maybe 5D ain't too shabby compared to mkIIn..
However, my 1D is old technology (heck the 5D is by these standards now) but I was very impressed with the noise even pushing it to 3200. Something my mkIIn would really be screaming death over.

Interesting, several models of Canon DSLRs aren't recognized by 64-bit Windows 7 for direct downloading from the Camera. I always assumed that the cameras acted as a generic USB mass storage device when plugged into the computer. If so, I wonder what the issue is with 64-bit?

Don't feed the...WTF?
Hey - anyone here happen to have the combination of CS3 and a XSi?
After some mishap with CS4, and a reformat of my HDD to accomodate Windows 7 - I am back to using CS3
However, I have been unable to get CS3 to recognize the RAW format used by the XSi. I have a hard time believing there is nothing I can do, I just think I am looking in the wrong spots for a solution. Anyone want to point me in the right direction?

Yeah, I'm also a card reader person and never plug in my cameras directly. I just find it odd that some cameras would be recognized by 64-bit Win 7 while others wouldn't. You have to admit, it would suck if your card reader died while on the road and your laptop gave a big fat bupkus when you plugged your camera in directly to get the files off.

According to this page, XSi support was only added with Camera Raw 5.x which is CS4/LR2 only. You could get at the files but it would require an additional step. You'd have to install and use the free DNG converter to convert the XSi RAWs to DNG, and then work with the DNG files using CS3/ACR4.

Kind of sux IMO that if you get a new camera you have to get a newer version of Photoshop to natively open the RAWs
I can understand cutting off support for a really old version of PS, but CS3 is what 2-3 years old?

Why should a third party software company that you choose to use, support a product that isn't in it's currently cycle? You pay 1k to 8k for the camera, if you can't afford the software you choose to use, then maybe...

IMO I was perfectly fine with CS2.
I feel it's just a way for them to force customers to upgrade to a newer version.
If they really wanted maybe charge a smaller fee to upgrade an older version to support newer cameras.

Again I say choose, hell you get software from Canon free to use, that's free, but almost no one uses it.

Well for maybe what I use Photoshop for I don't need whatever new features they add to a newer version.
in my trial version of CS4 I'm doing the same stuff as I did in CS2.
and I choose to use windows when I could use Linux for free yet M$ still provides support for winXP

I didn't buy CS4. Downloaded the trial version from adobe.
But what is elements? Is it just a stripped down version of PS or a completely different program?

I miss my 03 CL-S :(
The card reader thing is one reason I like the fact the xsi uses SDHC - I have two Sandisk Ultra II Plus, which has a built-in USB interface. I just bend it and shove the USB part into the laptop's USB port! No cables, dongles or anything.
If a 60D ever comes out, I hope they switch to SD from CF!
Also, anyone see this?
Adobe has released a beta version of its Photoshop Lightroom 3 workflow and image editing software. Available immediately for free download from Adobe Labs, the new version includes features such as 'intuitive' importing, improved noise reduction, enhanced slideshows and direct online publishing options (such as Flickr).

I wish we didn't support some products as long as we do).
But Camera RAW is practically a plugin (or at least it was in CS2).
I can understand them dropping support for CS2, but my gut feeling is they had to have code to explicitly disallow Camera raw from working for previous versions. That's just cheesy.
On the flip side, however, you can convert pics to DNG and they still work with prior versions of RAW. It's about time camera makers quit using proprietary RAW formats anyway. It's not like they are making money off their own processing software - what's the point? Isn't DNG a free to use format?
